* Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.

* Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

* Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don’t start measuring her limbs.

* Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

* Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

* Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

* Painting is stronger than me, it makes me do its bidding.

* People want to find a "meaning" in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age, an age that is anything but practical but believes itself to be more practical than any other age.

* Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.

* There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.

* The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.

* When we discovered Cubism, we did not have the aim of discovering Cubism. We only wanted to express what was in us.

* Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.
